It’s not just the jihadi problem with YT. Sometimes clips uploaded there just never come out of processing.

As for iFilm, we have been getting mostly postive but some mixed results. This video, for instance, turns out stretched as an embedded clip. But on our Hot Air feed page on iFilm, it looks fine. Here’s the link to that page.

Yeah, I’m glad HA is moving away from YouTube. The people who run YT obviously have an anti-conservative agenda.

At any rate, I’ll still watch the shows whether they’re stretched, squashed, pinched or punched. I don’t care. Besides, I can just subscribe via iTunes and get it in glorious QuickTime without the Flash component.

The awards show is a great idea. It does highlight the worst of these politicians. I am reminded of how truly disappointed I am with President Bush and the Republicans on this issue. Almost makes you want to weep.

I am so amazed that anyone wants to kiss Kennedy’s rear. What has happened to The Republican Party? It’s like that Bodysnatchers movie. Or were they always like this and just now showing their true colors?

OSCAR(S)®, OSCAR NIGHT® and the OSCAR® statuette design mark are the registered trademarks and service marks, and the OSCAR® statuette the copyrighted property, of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

May I suggest instead The Amnesty Awards, or just “The ‘Nasties” for short.

There is no statuette, ’cause designing one turned out to be just another job Americans won’t do.

Michelle, you deserve the biggest honors. Who else has been on this issue with so much knowledge and passion, for years? Malkin wins “Best Common Sense Performance By An American Who Merely Asks That Laws Be Enforced” hands down.

I recommend the Faso’s (Park Forest, IL) combo. Italian sausage and beef, hot and sweet peppers, mozzarella (whole, sliced, not some sleazy shredded junk), wrapped in foil and tossed in the oven for a few minutes.

Couple a dos and a few beers and we’ll get Shelley back up to fightin weight.

When Kennedy,Bush and McCain the Mad agree on something, history shows that the GOP and the Country drive off the road. Bush has become a tool of the Democratic Party. Chertoff is an absolute failure. Graham and Kyle will cost the GOP 2 more seats in the Senate. These people are all blind fools. And please, Mr President, as a whole Hispanics are undereducated, have few family values, and comprise a vast criminal class. Your fake portrayals of what we in the real world see every day are sickening. For example the recent pedophile sting operation picked up 10,000 suspects, of which 85% were illegal aliens. We have become the dumping ground for all of Mexico’s failures.

Ted Kennedy must be truly awesome to make so many Republicans want to give their country away. I wonder what kind of “magic dust” Kennedy is passing out down there in his Senate office.

As Professional and tech jobs head overseas to have a short term increase in profits the incentives for higher learning for domestic citizens diminishes. As these jobs head out there is no reason to seek out these skills any longer. Learning ow to engineer a circuit board, learn computer programming, learning how to manufacture a product, These skills all diminish. The resources that support these industries such as machining, automation will also leave.

This furthers the need to outsource and increase immigration rate even higher to get those skills. Schools will no longer teach these subjects because it’s also no longer profitable. America’s windows are smashed and it’s being looted and burned.

I’m so glad you reposted the comments about everyone’s gushing over Ted Kennedy. How do these dingdongs not realize they are making fools of us? They are teaming up with Ted Kennedy and calling him “awesome” and “educational,” while saying we don’t want what’s right for America??

For satirical effect, the word “Oscar” comes under the “fair use” doctrine, and it is therefore legitimate to incorporate into this comedic piece.

The statuette Michelle used (with the nice touch of the “distress signal / upside down U.S. flag” image on its base) looks more like an old Pontiac hood ornament than the actual little bald phallic Hollywood doo-dad.

Loved Geraldo’s hyper-hoopla-hyperbole.

(I’ll have to remember to start pulling down the pants of illegal aliens, as per his suggestion. “Lemme see yer ‘green card’, punk!“)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I recall that Kennedy was leading the charge against Lott over Lott’s comments at Thurmond’s retirement party.

Rather than kneeling to kiss Kennedy’s ring, Lott should be kicking Kennedy in the (gum)balls, instead.

Kennedy is a murderer. He’s a drunk. He’s a womanizer. His son is/was a drunk, too. He has NO moral authority and NO standing to speak for any immigrant. He should have been put in prison for capital murder. Instead, the dirty, rotten, Democrats of MASS keep electing this a-hole to the Senate.

SNOW WAS SO SMUG>>>ALLAH>>>WHAT ABOUT A CLIP FORM THAT INTERVIEW??

I second that motion. I have to admit it is surreal how this immigration con is. Does anyone even regcognize Bush anymore? I used to love Tony Snow taking it to libs when he was on FNS with Brit. But I don’t recognize him anymore. I saw the F&F’s bit this morning as well, I thought Doocey did the right thing, just letting Fast Tony Snowjob blather on while handing him the rope.

I agree that Veoh is a good option for HotAir.com’s videos for no other reason than it allows automatic syndication of the content to MySpace, YouTube, and Google Video. The missing component of Veoh is branding and passive revenue generation for HotAir videos…

Bryan, have you followed up with Brightcove yet? I know some guys over there if you want direct contacts.

Lindsey Graham is a sad little man. To think that at one time during the Clinton impeachment I admired him. And yes, Edward Kennedy is awesome. I am sure Mary Jane Kopeckne’s parents and family would agree with that statement. What is WRONGwith these people!
